[Bug 2012676] Re: [BPO] nfs-utils/1:2.6.1-2ubuntu4 from kinetic

[Mattia Rizzolo]

Hello Nathan,

we had a couple of meetings in the Backports and we have some concerns
about this proposed update:

1) you haven't provided any debdiffs, nor it's clear who is going to prepare the backports and do the future maintenance, as you don't seem to be an active Ubuntu contributor
2) you'd like to do the bpo from kinetic, but doing so will break updates as jammy is not covered.  You'll need to either include a jammy bpo, or ignore kinetic and do the bpo from jammy, unless there are relevant changes later on.
3) I'm going to subscribe the ubuntu server team and I noticed that Andreas Hasenack subscribed himself already, as before approving such package I'd totally like to have their input
4) the bug #1812280 you mentioned is in a different source package, but either way, if it's relevant then it should be handled via SRU and not necessarily be considered while evaluating the benefits of backporting nfs-utils
5) I think I'd like to have the tests a little better defined than "tested the package manually in focal without any issues so far"

Thank you for your interest!
